What are some of the lessons of reality TV?

The only thing that I think reality television has done is that it has made us see that we are all just like each other. Reality shows are a social experiment. It's almost like you are meant to see yourself in these people that you are watching on television. Part of what makes it entertaining is that you see people in a situation that you could imagine yourself in and speaking their feelings very openly, and that might touch something in you. I felt the same way myself at times and that kind of relationship with the characters has been made more immediate by reality television. I think that scripted television was, for a little while, getting to a place where the characters were not recognizably real; they were cartoon-ish or they were single dimensional. Reality television has brought in more multi dimensional characters, which makes them more relatable .
